As long as it is an option you can toggle. I much prefer pagination for most things.
It kinda breaks my head that some people would PREFER doomscrolling. I always thought of it as a cheap psychological trick by designers to keep eyes on ads.
I mean, a lot of people use this platform/any other platform as a way to use up 'empty time'. I'm not doing anything useful anyway, might as well get distracted by semi-interesting news.
There already is an option to turn endless scroll on/off - it's in the settings menu on the side of the screen (hit the little gear icon).
Noice. Thanks. I also found where the themes are at lol.
For sure. I hate how most sites do infinite scrolling. When I go "back" what I really want is to return to my previous view, even if that's 1000 posts deep (that's actually a pretty wasteful action, which is again why I prefer pagination).
